It's that time of the year again.. Sculpture by the Sea, where local, national and international artists display their work on Cottesloe Beach, you couldn't ask for a more stunning backdrop. Understandably there are not as many contributing artists as in past years before Covid, but still a wonderful event to visit. Two of my favourite sculptures today, I always look forward to seeing the whimsical wonder created by Ayad Alqaragholli, I'm sure you will recognise more of his work HERE. The joyful piece here is titled 'Our Love Touches the Sky'.. undoubtedly the world is in need of both, more love and joy at the moment..
Below the wire sculpture titled 'Indiana' by WA artist Tania Spencer is both exquisite and a little sad to see. The work modeled on the Indiana Teahouse recently added to the state heritage register that may or may not save it from the machinations of change that would leave only its facade as a reminder of its iconic presence on Cottesloe Beach. The video HERE is the new vision for the Indiana, what do you think? Take care and stay safe..
...it's wonderful to see that this program continues.
ReplyDeleteAlways a wonderful exhibit and you’re so right. We need it so much!
ReplyDeleteTruly Amazing
ReplyDeleteThey are telling us that we might just get cable by the end of the year! We then may be able to watch videos. Love these shots they are great. Hope you are well. Diane
ReplyDeleteI love them both but especially the wire Teahouse, Grace. Hope you are well.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your photos of the sculptures. We certainly could do with some joy and love right now.
ReplyDeleteWow, spectacular is a good word here Grace.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful works.
ReplyDeleteI like both of these sculptures. The Indiana sculpture is amazingly life like and detailed. I love seeing the creative work you photograph at Sculptures By the Sea. Keep up the good stuff, Grace.
ReplyDeleteInteresting sculptures, I like the last two the best.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
To stunning pieces that I shall think about again, I'm sure. Such a delight to see you, G. I find that I have this gift lately of being able to have two thoughts in my head at the same time. I grieve deeply with the Ukrainians and with the world. At the same time I am authentically able to be deeply grateful for my day and happy. If this is a dream, don't wake me up. Wishing you all the best as always cher ami
ReplyDeleteTwo! Danged dictation!
DeleteI love them both but the teahouse is so much more intricate.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sculptures, Grace, the second being bitter-sweet. In direct comparison (under the chapter History) I think it´s sad the filigree elements are replaced. Other I for once even like the idea of something new there.
ReplyDeleteWow impressive art there!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look too good for that tea pavilion. But the art work is incredible.
ReplyDeleteLong time no see. (Sorry)
ReplyDeleteThese days, I feel that the color of your photos has changed more clear and colorfully. ;)
Did you change the camera/setting or change the image editing? :)
Jose and I went there Sunday afternoon and then we had a sunset picnic. Not as many sculptures but quite a few beautiful ones. My favourite was the Indiana wire sculpture. So dainty and beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteAlways a delight to see! Just stunning! Take care.
ReplyDeleteAnd the two shall meet!
